While lot dimensions and dimensions for the access easement are not indicated in the pre-application materials, it appears that the access easement would be approximately 5,670 square feet. This would yield a net density for the proposed project of 7.55 dulac which conforms to the required R-8 zone density range. Development Standards: The project would be subject to RMC 4-2-110A, "Development Standards for Single Family Zoning Designations" effective at the time of complete application. A copy of these standards is included. Minimum Lot Size, Width and Depth -The minimum lot size permitted in Zone R-8 is 5,000 square feet for parcels less than one acre. Minimum lot width for interior lots is 50 feet and minimum lot depth is 65 feet. While proposed lot dimensions are not indicated in the pre-application materials, it appears that the proposal can comply with the minimum lot size, width and depth standards. Building Standards-The R-8 zone allows a maximum building coverage of 35% ofthe lot area or 2,500 square feet, whichever is greater for lots over 5,000 square feet in size. The maximum impervious coverage in the R-8 zone is 75%. Building height is restricted to 30 feet. Detached accessory structures must remain below a height of 15 feet and one-story. Accessory structures are also included in building lot coverage calculations. Compliance with building standards will be determined at the time of building permit review for any new structures. Setbacks -Setbacks are the minimum required distance between the building footprint and the property line and any private access easement. The required setbacks in the Zone R-8 are: Front yard -15 feet for the primary structure. Rear yard -20 feet. Side yards -5-feet, except is-feet for side yards along a street. Should the existing house remain on Proposed Lot 2, the above setbacks would be required. As proposed the front yard of the existing house would be oriented to the east (toward the proposed access easement) and, therefore, it would not comply with the setback standards. Additionally, the front yard of Proposed Lot 1 should be oriented toward NE J'h Street and the front yards of Proposed Lots 2 through 4 should be oriented to the east. Setbacks will be verified at the time of formal short plat application. Residential Design and Open Space Standards: The Residential Design and Open Space Standards contained in RMC 4-2-1215 would be applicable to any new residential structures. A handout indicating the applicable guidelines and standards is enclosed. As applicable to the R-8 zone, the guidelines are: Garages -The visual impact of garages shall be minimized, while porches and front doors shall be the emphasis of the front of the home. Garages shall be located in a manner that minimizes the presence of the garages and shall not be located at the end h:\ced\planning\current planning\preapps\12-019.jerry\pre012-019,pham nguyen short platA-lot shpl, r-8.doc H:\CED\Data\Forms-Templates\Self-Help Handouts\Planning\TreeRetentionWorksheet.doc 12/08 City of Renton TREE RETENTION WORKSHEET 1.

Multiply line 6 by 12” for number of required replacement inches: 7. ____________ inches 8. Proposed size of trees to meet additional planting requirement: (Minimum 2” caliper trees required) 8. ____________ inches per tree 9. Divide line 7 by line 8 for number of replacement trees6: (if remainder is .5 or greater, round up to the next whole number) 9. ____________ trees 1. Measured at chest height. 2. Dead, diseased or dangerous trees must be certified as such by a forester, registered landscape architect, or certified arborist, and approved by the City. 3. Critical Areas, such as wetlands, streams, floodplains and protected slopes, are defined in Section 4-3-050 of the Renton Municipal Code (RMC). 4. Count only those trees to be retained outside of critical areas and buffers. 5. The City may require modification of the tree retention plan to ensure retention of the maximum number of trees per RMC 4-4-130H7a 6. Inches of street trees, inches of trees added to critical areas/buffers, and inches of trees retained on site that are less than 6" but are greater than 2" can be used to meet the tree replacement requirement. DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT 1 H:\CED\Data\Forms-Templates\Self-Help Handouts\Planning\Environmental Checklist.doc 05/14 ENV PLANNING DIVISION ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST City of Renton Planning Division 1055 South Grady Way-Renton, WA 98057 Phone: 425-430-7200 Fax: 425-430-7231 PURPOSE OF CHECKLIST: Governmental agencies use this checklist to help determine whether the environmental impacts of your proposal are significant. This information is also helpful to determine if available avoidance, minimization or compensatory mitigation measures will address the probable significant impacts or if an environmental impact statement will be prepared to further analyze the proposal. INSTRUCTIONS FOR APPLICANTS: This environmental checklist asks you to describe some basic information about your proposal. Please answer each question accurately and carefully, to the best of your knowledge. You may need to consult with an agency specialist or private consultant for some questions. You may use “not applicable” or “does not apply” only when you can explain why it does not apply and not when the answer is unknown. You may also attach or incorporate by reference additional studies reports. Complete and accurate answers to these questions often avoid delays with the SEPA process as well as later in the decision-making process. The checklist questions apply to all parts of your proposal, even if you plan to do them over a period of time or on different parcels of land. Attach any additional information that will help describe your proposal or its environmental effects. The agency to which you submit this checklist may ask you to explain your answers or provide additional information reasonably related to determining if there may be significant adverse impact. INSTRUCTIONS FOR LEAD AGENCIES: Additional information may be necessary to evaluate the existing environment, all interrelated aspects of the proposal and an analysis of adverse impacts. The checklist is considered the first but not necessarily the only source of information needed to make an adequate threshold determination. Once a threshold determination is made, the lead agency is responsible for the completeness and accuracy of the checklist and other supporting documents. USE OF CHECKLIST FOR NONPROJECT PROPOSALS: 2 H:\CED\Data\Forms-Templates\Self-Help Handouts\Planning\Environmental Checklist.doc 05/14 For nonproject proposals (such as ordinances, regulations, plans and programs), complete the applicable parts of sections A and B even though questions may be answered “does not apply”. In addition the SUPPLEMENTAL SHEET FOR NONPROJECT ACTIONS (part D). Please completely answer all questions that apply and note that the words “project”, “applicant”, and “property or site” should be read as “proposal”, “proponent”, and “affected geographic area” respectively. The lead agency may exclude (for non-projects) questions in Part B - Environmental Elements –that do not contribute meaningfully to the analysis of the proposal. A. BACKGROUND 1.
